The Elimination Chamber event was full of memorable moments. The variety of matches featured insane spots and moves throughout. The men’s Elimination Chamber match certainly stole the show with the sheer quality of wrestling on offer. Austin Theory retained the US title after a draining battle against five performers. After his win, he discussed a plethora of topics in the post-show press conference, including his possible opponent at WrestleMania 39, John Cena.
Coming into the match, Theory was clearly at a disadvantage owing to the number of challengers. But he got an unexpected assist from the returning Logan Paul. ‘The Maverick’ attacked Seth Rollins, who was the last man remaining, along with Theory. The champion was his usual cocky self in the presser later and mocked the wrestler-turned-actor, Cena. This could be a big hint about their speculated encounter at ‘The Showcase of Immortals”.
